THE SBL 12-PACK OF QUESTIONS:
sponsored by pabst blue ribbon

1)  you're creating a baseketball team, and have to take one member of the lackey family, one member of the moroco family, and one member of the nespor family.  who do you take?

out of the lackeys, i gots to go with dennis. i really had faith in pat lackey going into this year. i think he must have been brushing his hair while dennis hit the lackey driveway hoop last fall. from the morocos, i have to go with jaime. i said a while ago that she was the best pick clayton made, and i hold to that. she leaves it all on the court and has the "win at all costs" attitude that i love in a player. i take pj nespor because i know him better and he's more consistant than lee..

2)  what is your favorite part of baseketball?

the scrum hands down. i know that i have the nice guy rep, but i love to let loose and kick ass before the game. only one sbl-er has seen me really pissed, and the satisfaction of the scrum keeps me smilin during the game. bonus points for a scrum against hoosier daddy.

3)  if baseketball were a movie directed by you, who would you cast to play some of the bigger chracters?

id get dwayne "the rock" johnson to play best player/league dicator nate tomko. kevin farly plays rando "humper" knight. the hot as hell chick from "meet joe black" as shelly goodpastor. steve bushemi as lenny crist. queen latifah as jamie moroco, kevin "silent bob" smith as myself and micheal moore as big ted.

4)  looking back 4 months at the sbl draft, which pick made the biggest impact on the league?

I think the trade that sent shelly goodpastor to the Bluffs for the ability to have the same ole' PJ and the ladies squad made the biggest difference. not only did they draft army bound andy esenwein, but they also made several other picks that im sure made equally less sense (without looking). anway, this led to the huge gap that we now have between the best and the worst in the league.

5)  which pick that seemed stupid at the time now makes you eat your own words?

I picked Jon Olsavsky for the mere principle of the thing. if anyone had told me he would have made the impact he has, i would have laughed.

6)  you've got a must-win baseketball game.  which three other sbl superstars, reguardless of value or team affiliation, do you want backing you up?

I've got Nate Tomko to win the scrum and hit 8 of 10 with 5 homers. i'd follow that up with Shelly Goodpastor, who is simply the person I'd want taking the do or die shot and would throw it all on the line in a scrum against the whole sbl if needed. Batting third would be Ted "the human gourd" Gilliland, who would make 8 of 8 from double range if i told him to. Cleaning it up would be Jon Olsavsky who is one of the best at everything there is to be good at in baseketball.

7)  what is your favorite sbl court?

i like the ass clown outdoor arena. the scrum on the pavement can weed out the men from the boys. the backboard is nice and there's a deck to sit on. also beer is allowed there.

8)  who is the worst sbl player you've ever seen?

when most of the sbl brass  picks you to win rookie of the year...people take notice and expect you to be good. brendan radcliffe, as good of a guy as he is, sucks at baseketball

9)  pool baseketball, naked baseketball or steel-cage baseketball;  which idea for a game sounds most appealing to you?

can't we put a cage around the pool and play in our birthday suits (ted excluded)?

10)  should lions be incorporated into sbl scrums, in your opinion?

yes,  we who are about to die salute you!

11)  you need to cut one player from your own team.  who goes?

Paul Radkowski...because he knows he's more needed somewhere else.

12)  which other sbl player do you think your game most closely resembles?

i think kip corbet and i play a very similar brand of baseketball. im not a good basketball player or great shooter, but i know my limitations. yes, we'll both shoot a middle homer now and again, but why would i shoot that when i can hit the middle double 6 out of 10 times? we both do the dirty work of boxing out underneath, and just use our heads to make up for our limited basketball abilities.
